At Primarc Studio, we believe a successful project is built on clear communication and a transparent process. We provide a custom architectural service, not an off-the-shelf product. Because every project is unique, we find that publishing set prices without context is unhelpful, as a number alone cannot convey the depth of our service.

Therefore, our approach is designed to guide you through a collaborative journey, ensuring you have complete clarity at every stage. We begin the conversation on the right foot, focusing on your lifestyle and vision first.

Laying the Foundation: Consultation & Contract

Our journey together begins before the first line is drawn. It starts with an initial consultation and our detailed Client Questionnaire, which you will fill out so we can fully understand your vision and define the project scope. Based on this comprehensive brief, we draft a formal Client Service Agreement.

This contract outlines the full scope of work, deliverables, and our fee structure. The project officially commences, and we move to Step 1, upon the signing of this agreement and receipt of the initial mobilization fee.

With the formalities complete, our first official step is a deep dive into your project.

What it should show: Professionalism and the start of a partnership.

Step 1: The Initial Consultation & Discovery

Every great design begins with a conversation. This first step is all about listening. We sit down with you to understand your vision, lifestyle, functional needs, and aesthetic aspirations.

To help dive deeper into your requirements, we’ve developed a detailed Client Questionnaire for residential projects. This questionnaire helps us gather crucial data on how you intend to use each space, which directly informs our layout and design decisions, ensuring the final home is truly tailored to you.

This initial phase also includes a visit to your site to analyze its unique conditions, orientation, and potential.

Finally, we have an open conversation about your overall project budget. We consider the budget a critical design tool that allows us to propose creative solutions and recommend materials that align with your financial goals. Our priority is finishing every project within the agreed-upon budget, and this proactive discussion is key to preventing surprises and ensuring the final design can be built beautifully and responsibly.

What it should show: Your hands-on approach and analysis.

Image Suggestion: A picture of one of your architects on-site, perhaps looking at the landscape, taking a measurement, or sketching in a notebook. This shows that your process begins in the real world, on the client’s actual property.

Step 2: Concept Design & Development

This is where your vision begins to take architectural form. We translate the discovery data into a cohesive design concept, a process we divide into two focused stages: developing the architectural plan, and then crafting the exterior form.

Phase 2A: The Architectural Plan

Our first goal is to perfect the layout and flow of your space. Using the insights from our initial consultation and your questionnaire, we begin designing with a deep understanding of your needs and the site itself. Our process is informed by a rigorous analysis of solar paths, wind patterns, and local bylaws. We place special emphasis on crafting key views—both the beautiful vistas you will enjoy from inside the home, and the carefully composed perspectives of the house as seen from the exterior.

We believe in presenting one thoughtfully considered design solution that has undergone rigorous internal review, rather than multiple underdeveloped options. This single, refined proposal is born from collaborative workshops and critiques between our architects and designers.

We then present this polished plan to you in a dedicated design meeting. For many of our clients, this is an eye-opening moment. It’s when they realize a home’s layout doesn’t have to follow a conventional template and can be iterated upon in countless ways to perfectly suit their lifestyle. This understanding is the foundation of our collaborative session, where we walk you through our design decisions, listen to your feedback, and refine the plan together.

Phase 2B: The Exterior & 3D Form

Once you are completely satisfied with the architectural plan, we apply the same rigorous process to the building’s exterior. We develop the 3D form, carefully balancing volumes, selecting materials, and shaping an aesthetic that is both beautiful and appropriate for its surroundings, while always respecting the initial budget discussion.

This phase also involves its own cycle of internal reviews before we present the exterior concept to you for feedback. Once you have approved the exterior design, we make any final, necessary adjustments to the floor plans to ensure perfect harmony between the interior and exterior.

Only when we both are fully satisfied with the complete conceptual design do we seek your final approval to proceed to the next stage and your next milestone payment is due.

What it should show: Creativity, collaboration, and the “messiness” of the design process.

Image Suggestion: A close-up, top-down shot of a desk with an architect’s hands sketching on trace paper over a floor plan. Include some material samples and color swatches in the shot to show the different elements coming together. This is very authentic.

Step 3: Technical Design and Authority Submission

With the concept design approved, we move into the highly detailed technical phase. Here, we collaborate with our trusted team of specialist consultants to ensure every aspect of your home is engineered to perfection and ready for approvals. This process begins by engaging our expert structural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) consultants.

The architectural plans are sent to our structural engineers, who calculate the precise loads and design the building’s framework, specifying the required steel. This stage requires a soil test report—a necessary step for both robust structural design and for formal submission to local authorities. Simultaneously, our MEP consultants design the electrical, plumbing, and ventilation systems to be efficient and seamlessly integrated.

Our most critical role during this phase is coordination. We meticulously overlay the structural and MEP drawings with our architectural plans. This integration process allows us to identify and resolve any potential conflicts—such as a structural beam interfering with an interior design element—long before they can become issues on-site.

Once all consultant drawings are finalized and fully coordinated, we compile the complete technical drawing set into a submission package, prepared according to the specific requirements of the relevant society or development authority. We then provide you with this package and the necessary forms for formal submission. Should the authorities request any modifications, we handle the required revisions and re-submission promptly.

This step concludes once the plans are officially approved, clearing the way for the construction phase. Upon completion and delivery of the submission drawing package, the next milestone payment is due.

What it should show: Precision, complexity, and technical expertise.

Image Suggestion: A visually interesting screenshot of a complex 3D model or a detailed technical drawing on a computer screen (from software like Revit or AutoCAD). A “wireframe” or axonometric view looks particularly impressive.

Step 4: Detailed Construction Drawings

With the concept design approved, we move into the highly detailed technical phase. Here, we collaborate with our trusted team of specialist consultants to ensure every aspect of your home is engineered to perfection and ready for approvals. This process begins by engaging our expert structural and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing) consultants.

The architectural plans are sent to our structural engineers, who calculate the precise loads and design the building’s framework, specifying the required steel. This stage requires a soil test report—a necessary step for both robust structural design and for formal submission to local authorities. Simultaneously, our MEP consultants design the electrical, plumbing, and ventilation systems to be efficient and seamlessly integrated.

We then provide you with this package and the necessary forms for formal submission. Should the authorities request any modifications, we handle the required revisions and re-submission promptly.

This step concludes once the plans are officially approved, clearing the way for the construction phase. Upon completion and delivery of the submission drawing package, the next milestone payment is due.

What it should show: The comprehensive nature of your work.

Image Suggestion: A photo of a large, printed set of construction drawings rolled up and standing in a basket, or partially unrolled on a large table. This gives a tangible sense of the volume of detailed work you produce.

Step 5: Construction Drawings

Once the necessary approvals are secured, we create the comprehensive set of construction drawings. It’s important to note that this stage focuses purely on the ‘grey structure’ and exterior of the building. This includes the complete structural framework, blockwork, and exterior appearance. Details related to interior design, such as cabinetry or specific finish layouts, are developed in a subsequent phase.

This detailed package serves as the ultimate guide for the construction team, ensuring the building’s shell is executed with precision. It includes:

 

Architectural Drawings: A full set of detailed plans, including floor layouts with wall-to-wall dimensions, slab plans, door and window schedules, elevation details, cross-sections, stair details, and enlarged “blow-up” details for complex areas.

Consultant Drawings: Fully coordinated drawings from our partners, including:

  • Structural Drawings: Detailed plans for excavation, column and foundation layouts, and specific designs for beams and slabs.
  • MEP Drawings (Electrical & Plumbing): Comprehensive layouts for all plumbing systems (including underground and overhead water tank details), electrical systems (solar panel and CCTV placement, main distribution boards, earthing), and a full electrical load management plan.
  • 3D Visualizations: We also provide high-quality 3D renders of the approved exterior design. These visuals serve as a clear and inspiring reference for you and the construction team throughout the build.

This exhaustive set of documents ensures clarity for the contractors and minimizes the chance of errors during construction, paving the way for a smooth building process.

(Upon delivery of this complete construction drawing set, the next milestone payment is due.)

What it should show: Your on-site presence, quality control, and collaboration with builders.

Image Suggestion: An architect on a construction site (wearing a helmet for safety), pointing at a detail on the wall or floor and discussing it with a contractor. This shows you are there to protect the design’s integrity.

Step 6: Construction & Site Supervision

As your project moves to the site, our role transitions to being your trusted advocate and the guardian of the design. We oversee both the structural construction and the detailed interior finishing to ensure a seamless, high-quality result.

Phase 6A: Grey Structure Oversight

During the initial construction, our focus is on the building’s core and shell. We conduct periodical site visits to ensure the contractor is following the structural and architectural drawings with precision. We issue formal Site Visit Reports to track progress and quality, and we coordinate with our consulting engineers for their own critical inspections.

Phase 6B: Material Selection & Finishing Supervision

Once the grey structure is complete, our supervision shifts to the finishing details that bring your home to life. This is a highly collaborative stage focused on material selection. We guide you in choosing finishes that are perfectly aligned with the approved interior design and your budget. Our expertise is crucial here to ensure every material—from tiles and woodwork to paints and fixtures—complements the overall aesthetic.

To guarantee the perfect result, we believe in on-site decision-making. We often apply material samples directly at the site, allowing us to assess them together in the actual light and space of your home before final installation. This hands-on approach and experimentation ensure a cohesive and beautifully executed interior, true to the original vision.

(Our fees for this comprehensive supervision phase are typically billed on a monthly basis throughout the construction timeline.)

What it should show: Modern technology and the “wow” factor of seeing the design.

Image Suggestion: A photo of a client or team member wearing a VR headset and looking around, with the corresponding beautiful 3D render visible on a large screen behind them. This is very modern and powerfully demonstrates the value you offer.

Step 7: Interior Design and Visualization

As the building’s grey structure takes shape, we begin the dedicated Interior Design phase. This is where we transform the house into your home, focusing on the details that define your daily experience. We revisit the original vision, building upon the key views and spatial connections we established in the initial design to ensure a harmonious relationship between the architecture and its interiors.

Our team designs each space with meticulous attention to detail—from custom kitchens and lounges to serene bathrooms and practical, beautiful niches. Every element is designed with two goals in mind: timeless aesthetics and practical functionality, ensuring the final design is not only beautiful but can also be executed flawlessly on site.

To ensure you have complete clarity and confidence, we utilize cutting-edge visualization tools. We invite you to experience your future interiors through immersive Virtual Reality (VR) walkthroughs. This allows you to understand the feel and flow of each room in a way that 2D drawings cannot convey, ensuring every element we introduce is understood and approved by you.

Once you are satisfied with the interior concepts for every space, we create a comprehensive set of detailed interior design drawings. This thorough documentation is key to a smooth interior construction phase, providing a precise roadmap for the contractors and giving you a clear vision of the final product you will receive.

(This interior design phase is often structured with its own set of milestone payments, which will be outlined in our agreement.)

What it should show: The successful result, quality, and attention to detail.

Image Suggestion: A stunning, artistic shot of a detail from a completed project—not the whole building. For example, a beautifully crafted staircase, a unique window corner where light is coming in, or a close-up of custom joinery. This focuses on the quality and craftsmanship you deliver.

Step 8: Design Completion and Design Final Walkthrough

As the construction and finishing work concludes, we reach the final stage of our design oversight. To ensure the execution matches the vision, we arrange a meticulous final walk-through of the project with you and the contractor.

The purpose of this inspection is to verify that every detail has been built to the highest standard and in complete accordance with our design drawings and specifications. We compile a final list of any minor items or defects to be rectified by the construction team.

Once those items are resolved to our satisfaction, our formal design and supervision role for the project concludes. Our greatest satisfaction comes from seeing our shared vision brought to life, resulting in a space that is ready for you to make your home.
